Engineering

Building a Better World.
From the latest advances in scramjet technology to earth-bound builds that push the design limits.

We work with world-class partners to reach higher, go further and build smarter. Every day, we use sophisticated simulations and advanced modeling techniques to take Illinois innovation wherever it’s needed most.

Partnering with colleagues on campus, like the outstanding Grainger School of Engineering, as well as industry giants such as Rolls Royce and John Deere, NCSA helps push the boundaries of engineering with the application of high-performance computing at a massive scale.
